Uncharted 3 needs improvement

I love Uncharted 2 and here are some ideas to make Uncharted 3 (I hope it comes out on next gen hardware) even better than 2.
1. Open world or at least open world stages/ chapters. The jungle stages are going to be in every Uncharted and I wish there was more jungle in Among Thieves, so make them like a real jungle which isn't limited. I completely understand how having a linear experience helps guide the story, but some chapters need to be set in an open environment.
2. Stealth. The stealth mechanic was decent in U2, so I think it should be expanded upon. I'm not saying I want to play as Snake in full octo camo, but an idea would be to allow us to set up traps.
For example, we should be able to toss a propane tank to one side of the stage which should alert the guards to that side of the stage. Have them surround it, and blow it up, alerting them even more making them begin to search for Drake (if they get too close to the propane tank they should scatter as if they know it's a trap).
Or
When in the jungle we should be able to lure a tiger or something into the enemy camp and maul some of the soldiers. While we sneak in unharmed. The thing is I know this kind of thing will take a lot of coding for the AI which is why I want U3 on next gen hardware.
3. Setting. I think the next Uncharted should be a combination of U2 and Drake's Fortune. I enjoyed the full Jungle setting of Drake's Fortune, but being in the cities and mountains was nice as well (being in the village inhabited by people was a huge surprise, and a nice break from the action until the later events happened which was pure awesomeness). Maybe Africa, or another island?
4. Climbing. The climbing was a huge improvement over Drake's Fortune, but now they need to take it a step further, and become more like InFamous. I need to be able to climb on stuff that looks like I can climb on.
5. Animations. Most of the animations are great in U2, but they need to fix the rolling and jumping animation, they aren't up to par with everything else. Oh and they need to add running to U3. As of now Drake's run is more of a trot. Push R3 to run should be standard in more games.
6. Multiplayer. I love multiplayer, but it has problems.
I like things like the tank bursting in and killing random people, how everything from the single player is in the multiplayer, and the game types.
However, getting hit by someone when you're well out of range sucks, as well as getting shot when you're around the corner. Weapons should spawn in random locations so we don't know where the RPG, Hammer, Pistol, etc... don't spawn. Leaving games, especially co-op games since no one getting any points. And multiplayer maps for each level in the game. Most of this can be fixed with U2, so here's hoping they come up with more for multiplayer in U3.
And that's about it. I have complete faith in Naught Dog with the single player campaign since both games were amazing. And that's what it takes for U3 to be game of the year when it comes out.
